Please note that I am rather behind these day so it may take me a while to get back to you but I promise I will. Thank you for your patience.

Now it is time to announce our DT Delights from this challenge. As always, in each challenge you, the readers, get to voice your opinion by voting for your favourite and so it is only fitting that my Design Team get to do so as well.

Thanks to the six people who took the time to join along our Path during the month of November for Challenge #53. This time around, one person in particular caught our attention...

Nancy-chosen by Pippa and Katrina...

Katrina said this:
"My DT Delight is Nancy's first entry. I was touched by this lovely card. The beautiful gold staff of notes with the blues and greens and soft embossing are so peaceful and perfect for the Silent Night focal point! I could hear the tune as I looked at this."

Pippa said this:
"My DT Delight is also Nancy's first entry. There is something about the whole layout and design that draws the eye in to look closer. It was the first one I went for when looking at all the entries. Also I love the central image with the music."

Nancy--chosen by Julie, Pat & Suze...

Julie had this to say:"My DT Delight is Nancy's second entry. Nancy's piano card is fantastic! Plus, it fits our theme wonderfully. "

Pat said this:
"My DT Delight is also Nancy's second entry. Nancy’s easel card makes a gorgeous presentation. A lot of work went into that card."

Suze had this to say:

"I too chose Nancy's entry as my DT Delight. A perfect choice for an easel card. I also like the combination of papers chosen for this card."

Creative Congratulations to you Nancy!

Thank you to those who played on our Pathway during the month of November. As always we greatly appreciate you sharing your incredible talents with us.

For our DT Delights chosen for this challenge...

  You are entitled to one image of your choice from our on-going sponsor...

Please click HERE to check out the image previews. They are arranged into general categories; although, due to the nature of some of these images, they have been repeated in certain applicable categories. Be sure to click on the watermarks to bring them up into the lightbox for better viewing. Now, I apologize but unfortunately, the owner of CBD is MIA right now and her blog background needs some serious updating as her images are all out of Flickr 3rd Party Hosting.  As such it is extremely difficult to see anything on the blog. However, the jpgs themselves are fine and the name of the image is written right on the jpg so you should be able to see the names without a problem.

If you are interested in claiming a digi, please send me the name of the one image you want and let me know which section it came from. Send your request to popwinners {at} gmail {dot} com (be sure to replace 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols), or click HERE to bring our email up in your program, with the subject, "PoP#53-DT Delight Digi Request". I'm always running rather behind these days, so your patience is appreciated.

Additionally, you are entitled to the special Challenge #53 DT Delight Badge which you can find below...

Be sure to join us on Monday when we'll be back with the midway. I'll try and get the top picks done before then if I can manage. Until then...
